Kat Von D (March 8, 1982, and who has given her birth name as both Katherine Drachenberg on her official site and Katherine von Drachenberg in two German interviews) is an American tattoo artist and television personality. She is best known for her work as a tattoo artist on the TLC reality television show LA Ink, which premiered August 7, 2007 in the United States and November 11, 2007 in the UK.

Kat Von D’s Tattoos have made the TV personality who she is today, but what would she look like without them? These unbelievable before and after photos are of the hot LA Ink star on the set of a Sephora photo shoot for a perfume the artist was promoting.

Kat Von D does look stunning in both the before and after shots, but that’s thanks to the miracle of photoshop. Check out the pics below of the tatted up star with pounds and pounds of concealer on to cover all the black ink under her skin.

Kat Von D is now pushing her own line of tattoo cover up, but if it’s anything like this, you might as well invest in turtlenecks and trench coats! What do you think of this Hot Mess? Does she look better with or without tattoos?
